ActionScript 2.0 :: XML Language Selector Using Locale Flash Var?
Apr 28, 2007
I'm creating an XML driven language selector which places the current language's flag (depending on the user's locale which is passed through a Flash Var parameter) at the top of the list. I've got all this working so far BUT i'm having trouble with the results. I want to be able to add onRollOver and onRelease functions to the newly created movieclips but it just ain't happening! The onRollOver function would be a bit of movement for each flag and the onRelease would call getURL using the url for that language which is contained in the XML file.
Code:
sideFeather.swapDepths(10000);
var x = new XML();
I have been trying to experiment with Flash's support for multilanguage documents. However, whatever locale I set in Regional and Language Options on Windows XP the swf file always assumes an "en" locale. I simplified the document down to:import flash.system.Capabilities;trace(flash.system.Capabilities.language);And this also always gives "en".I read somewhere (not in Adobe's documentation!) that Capabilities.language gives the language of the Flash player. Is this correct? If so, is there anyway of retrieving the locale that is set in Regional and Language Options?
I want to implement something like a pick-and-change selector, like this one here, what tools can i use to accomplish something like that? Is flash adequate? Which has the shortest learning curve? I was told by my friend to use 3d max.
I wish to have a standard row with string items except two items,no 1 there is a date field and I need a date selector for it.no 2 in another cell of the row I want to put a drop down list box containing text "40" and "20" or you can manually edit the cell so that it displays what ever input you decide (other than 40 and 20)
I keep getting this warning in css: Type 'AutoComplete' in CSS selector 'AutoComplete' must be qualified with a namespace. I can't seem to get it fixed.
im making an application that swaps out rims and tires on cars, there is a car selector screen as well car selection.swf ----> car mod.swf ---> car selection.swf you can go back and forth between the different cars, swapping rims... so ... here is where I'm at so far with what I'm doing. calling in a new swf file, and it pops overtop of the one im using... all the false hidden stuff, seems to stay in memory, i need to wipe it clean, so m animation is still smooth.. code :
Example text in white and background in black. [URL]If you select the text something is happening. But the default colors are not really set well. In HTML is automatic done, but in AS3? If the background is white and tekst black it works all fine....
I have put a drawing board on my application, but I cannot figure out how to get a colour selector..? Another problem with this, is that when the page is selected I can draw out of the board, and also when I navigate to another page I can continue to draw on other pages (not good!)...
I have a flex application being developed in Spanish, and I'd like to build it using a Spanish locale. However, the only locales installed in my SDK are en_US and ja_JP. Is there a site or resource where I can get other sets of locale files?
Does anyone know how I can get operating system locale name from my flex 4 application? I'm just interested in any information about locale.Is it possible?
it doesn't display the necessary language, English only. after the encoding has been changed, it also doesn't work.probably the font should be changed into a standard one, but i don't know where to do it
I have some labels in a title window in my application. When i change locale it gets changed but labels in the titleWindow do not change. When I check the locale chain using resourceManager.localeChain it returns the array of locales and newly selected locale is on the zero index of it
I'm trying to localize my Flex app, I have been able to setup the locale specifics and all the stuff inside MXML tags, that works pretty well, my question is, what about if I have for example:
[Code]....
How can I change with ActionScript those two strings to an other locale?
I'm using Flash CS3 with Actionscript 3, and I need to have a scripting language that the user can use. If they could type in their own actionscript and have it evaluated, that would be perfect. Another scripting language such as Lua would be fine too. I looked into lua alchemy, but it seems poorly supported so I'd rather not use that. The Eval command from actionscript 2 isn't available in as3, and some of the things I've heard indicate that it's functionality is pretty limited, although I've never used it before.
What method or process do I use to set an iOS app to only one language?I recently had an iPad app written in Flash CS5.5 approved at the iTunes app store. I noticed at the iTunes store, it indicates that my app is localized in 14 different languages. I never set this up; it seems that there is a process that automatically adds several default language localizations to the ipa binary when the file is published. I tried the strings panel, used a var to set the localID, went into the SDK for flex and flash builder and deleted the locales (could not find anything similar for Flash itself), but none of this seems to prevent Flash from adding the language defaults. I have found many examples on how to localize my app for several languages, but nothing on how to set it to only one.
I have created a actionscript with Capabilities function It works good, but I want to ad a If else statement on the capabilities for language.I'm running in English so the capabilities shows " EN ", but I want the if else statement to change " EN " to = English, and if we are running in different language it would say " Other language"
This is what i have at the moment.
var versionString = Capabilities.language; var label2:TextField = createCustomTextField(0, 60, 200, 20); label2.text = "language: " + Capabilities.language;
this is the URL of the language reference website I have been using for Flash/AIR: [URL]Is this URL the correct one I should be using when I need to look up a class or method or property or something like that? Because it does not match up with what actually shows up in the Flash IDE when I type an import statement. Most of the packages match up but not all.
For instance, the reference URL has a fl.events package, and so do I locally, but my package seems to be missing lots of classes from it that the reference URL shows. This leads me to believe I don't have the latest SDK's or SWC's or whatever I need installed, whether they be Flash, Flex, Air, etc.Also, I have a few packages locally that don't show up in the reference URL. Things like "flash.debugger" and "flash.trace", they are not my custom classes, not sure where they came from.
Lastly, there are certain AIR classes missing, and I'm sure this is because I don't have the latest AIR SDK installed. I did find it and download it, just not sure how to download it.
1) Is the above URL the one I should be using? If not, is there a better definitive location for Flash/AIR language reference that is updated and always has the latest and greatest info?
2) I have the latest AIR sdk on my desktop, how do I install it? (I'm using Flash CS5 on Mac OSX 10.6)
3) How can I make sure that what I see in that reference URL is what shows up in my code hinting when I type import statements in the Actions Panel? Basically I just want to make sure I am all up to date so everything is showing and working the way it should be. For instance, I am missing a ton of fl classes (containers, controls, core, data, etc.) I want to get these in place so my local copies are synchronized as close as possible with the reference. Documentation doesn't help much when you don't have the tools it tells you to use...
4) Take the fl.ik package for instance. Locally, I have available all the classes in the reference URL that I should, plus a bunch more that aren't there.
I have one issue that i have one game in Russian language, and I want to change it in English so anyone can give me the easiest and informative solution to convert it in English.... or Can we use language interpreter in Flash?
I may be mistaken, but it appears that Facebook only supports friend-selector dialogs within a request/invite form. I take that to mean that since our app is just allowing the user to arrange a subset of friends for display within the app (no message to the friend), we must use something that isn't available from Facebook. It would be nice to know if I'm wrong, but important to have some clear pointers on how to get a friend ID back from the dialog without an invite or request getting sent to the friend.
I've searched for solutions and the closest I've come is a description of something that implements what I want offered for license by Mike Knoop. I've tried making contact, but still don't know whether the code (or license terms) will work. It would be really nice to have a solution that was more open, but any pointers to widgets/libraries that include this capability
I understand that one can use local-specific ResourceBundles in combination with DateFormatters to format dates according to locale. However this is a manual process - is there an automatic way to do this or to set a default for the application?
In Java for example, all your dates will automatically appear in dd/mm/yy or mm/dd/yy format simply by setting the locale. In Flex, a default date output will always be in US format unless manually formatted otherwise. I'm looking for a way to get closer to the Java functionality.
I am working on an AIR desktop application, and am trying to get the user's locale string. I basically need to know whether the user's locale is English or French. Capabilities.language doesn't seem to work for me, as it only displays the OS's UI language.
How can I get the user's current locale?
Once determined, I intend to set it to resourceManager.localeChain, so that the appropriate 'properties' files are used to display my UI literals.
This works only the first time each button is pressed.What command do I have to use to change displayed language to that one that is allready loaded? Or how to unload existing xml from memory to force the autoReplace work again?
